Bend it like Nash

Lots of new basketball ads assaulting the sensibilities this year. Among Charles Barkley’s T-Mobile spots, there’s the NBA’s new marketing campaign, which is consistently chill-inducing; LeBron’s ads, which are perplexing; and Dwayne Wade’s is just sort of … awkward.

Steve Nash’s is entertaining, if only for his soccer skills. We’ve always heard about how good Nash was at soccer; now we get to see it first-hand, albeit through the tightly edited lens of advertising. Still, those are some moves. Nash looks every bit the soccer player his basketball skills would imply.

    The ad doesn’t have the simplicity of those dribbling commercials that came out a few years, but it’s pretty sweet. We only got to see a second of it, but Nash looks like he’s got a decent tennis stroke, too. The man is a stud.
